Business Development vs GS Technology
Hey guys, I have 2 offers (Graduating Senior) and need a little help on Pro's and Cons for exit opps, b-school, etc.
Goldman Sachs Technology Division-- Software Developer --vs.-- Renewable Energy Solar Company-- Business Development (Small, more startup culture, yet heavily funded and invested)
Obviously, they are extremely different roles. The Business Development team is brand new at the renewable energy company and I would be one of the first employees. I would have a direct impact on bottom-line revenue as well. It might be kool-aid, but my manager already told me that he foresees me being a manager in a year as the division grows.
I like the people, culture, and company better at the Renewable Energy company, but I'm nervous about losing the brand value of GS. Also the solar company is going through an acquisition, which always scares me a little (scared they might scrap our division or something). I've interned at both, and overall enjoy the solar company more thus far.
Thoughts/insights on career path, exit-opps, b school?
Thank you so much.
bump? I would really appreciate a little insight on this. I'm probably stressing way too much about it.
Business Development all the way. Sounds way more interesting to me and there's no GS brand for Technology in Jersey City...
This is pretty easy, if you want to be a software developer then go to GS. If you don't want to be a software developer and would rather be working on the business side, go to the solar energy company. Two completely different career paths.
What about in terms of grad school though? I'll need to get an MBA in a few years.
Biz Dev >>>>>>>> GS tech for bschool. name isn't everything and actual experience is so much more important. with regards to GS, the name is only valuable if you're in a front office role, otherwise, it carries very little weight, if any.
